PSO360: Passageways

Hailed by The Financial Times as “brilliantly skillful and selflessly musical,” he continues to earn renown on the greatest stages of the world. In this one-night-only special evening, Jackiw joins together with a virtuoso ensemble of Pittsburgh Symphony musicians for an intimate evening of “Passageways.” Join us as we trace the line from Bach to Mendelssohn, up through today in a special collection of signature works. Arvo Pärt’s evocative Fratres opens the program with both expansiveness and stillness. Concertmaster David McCarroll joins Jackiw in Bach’s brilliant “Double” Violin Concerto. The program builds to a dramatic conclusion with Jackiw serving as soloist in the rarely performed Mendelssohn d minor Violin Concerto, an early Mendelssohn work composed just at the age of thirteen and brimming with invention, virtuosity and lyricism.
